Mouse policy now folds onto the resolved pad (source included) instead of a discarded capture; no-policy path does no mouse polling.

Master moved the textured-dot test stubs into gpu_exec_stubs.inc; the PGXP stubs move there too. pgxp_note_rect_bypass stub takes (int). Stamps recomputed.
Siblings sharing an output directory (PGXP clones, Tomba 2's regions) raced each other's mods/bundled wipe under -j2.

Many PS1 renderers drop a primitive whose depth index falls past the end
of their ordering table. Raising that limit can write past the table, so
a title can now list such guards in game.toml with the register that
carries the index and the last safe value. While a trusted mod has called
psx_mod_set_draw_distance_clamp(1), generated main-EXE code clamps that
register before the guard runs, so far geometry is kept in the farthest
slot instead of popping in later.
- Off by default and reset at every session start, so netplay and every
title that lists no sites run unchanged; with no sites the generated
code and declarations are byte-identical.
- Main executable only: the full instruction word is the guard,
generation fails on a mismatch or a load-delay hazard, captured
overlay code keeps its own code (the sites are not part of the overlay
config identity), and the dirty-RAM interpreter applies the clamp
where the game's text image holds the listed word.
- Compatibility: code_generator.cpp is a codegen-hash input, so the
codegen hash and the overlay-cache tag change for every title, sites
or not. Savestates from earlier builds are refused, and overlay shards
rebuild once on first visit. Generated code and behaviour are
unchanged for a title without sites or with the switch off.
- Tests: draw_distance_codegen_test (config rules, emission, guards,
declarations, overlay identity) and draw_distance_interp_test (store,
switch, interpreted guards); the session-reset guard covers the switch.

With every drawn vertex precise, a title can still show cracks where the game
culled a face on its integer winding. R4's road emitter runs NCLIP on each
far row and skips rows whose native height rounds to 0. Natively their
neighbours meet at the same integer y. With PGXP they sit at their exact y,
and the skipped row becomes a strip of sky across the road beyond the start
gantry, at 4K and in 2P. tri_mixed cannot see this: the missing face draws
no triangle.
Precise culling (DuckStation's "PGXP culling", minimal footprint):
- While geometry correction is armed, gte_nclip computes the exact
determinant of the three SXY register shadows (pgxp_gte_nclip_precise:
live, current words, the GPU's own truncation agreement and tolerance).
When its sign is nonzero and differs from the integer MAC0's, MAC0 takes
that sign, with the rounded exact doubled area (at least 1) as magnitude.
FLAG keeps the integer overflow bits.
- It changes guest-visible MAC0, so it is a `culling` option of
psx.enhancement.pgxp, false in the builtin, with no [video] key, so netplay
(which clears every mod) never runs it. It needs geometry correction.
It is held off in every pass compared against another execution: the
speculative and replay passes, and the whole overlay shadow diff
(psx_overlay_shadow_diff_active), interpreter pass included.
- Counters whenever geometry correction is armed: nclip_precise,
nclip_disagree (exact sign differs: the culled-face crack exposure),
nclip_corrected. TCP pgxp {"culling":0|1}; env PSX_PGXP_CULLING.
Session arming in one place (src/pgxp_session.cpp, psx_pgxp_session_arm):
main.cpp's renderer setup now calls the same code the test drives. The arming
takes the mod request (reads and clears it), so a session with an empty plan
cannot inherit an earlier session's request even if the reset were skipped.
pgxp_session_test now links the real mod runtime, the builtin plugin and the
builtin manifest, and covers:
- a default-on override;
- a netplay clear, with and without the reset;
- the off switch;
- the options;
- env overrides;
- pgxp_mod_only.
[video] pgxp_mod_only (game.toml, default false): for a title that ships
PGXP through the mod, the mod is the one switch. The [video]
geometry_correction / perspective_texturing / pgxp_cpu_mode values are not
applied, from game.toml or the player's settings.toml. The launcher also
hides its Perspective textures row (has_geometry_precision = 0). That row
showed "off" while a default-on mod corrected textures, and it could keep
texture correction on after the player switched the mod off.
geom_correction also reports texture_correction and the culling switch.
R4, Helter Skelter: 28.7% of NCLIPs disagree in sign. With culling, the
ladder is gone in same-frame 4K captures (1P straight and crest, 2P VS), and
the game emits about 24% more triangles. Its packet buffers peak at 60%.
fp_identity over 12000 frames: stock, PGXP off, and PGXP on with culling off
are IDENTICAL; with culling on, the RAM writes differ from the attract race
on, while cyc/mmio/mc agree throughout.

psxrecomp_add_game_runtime gains a PGXP option and forwards it to
psxrecomp_add_runtime_target, which already supports a PGXP primary
(-DPSX_PGXP=1, overlay flavor 2, published flavor file, no _pgxp suffix and no
clone). Until now a title could only get the hook flavor through
PSX_PGXP_VARIANT's side-by-side clone, or by leaving a bare PGXP in the
forwarded tail, where an earlier multi-value argument such as
CODEGEN_SETUP_SOURCES or GEN_FULL_GLOB swallowed it as a file name.
The generated C already carries the PGXP_*() hook sites, so a title's
committed generated/ does not change. Default unchanged: titles that do not
pass PGXP build the base flavor as before.
game_runtime_pgxp_test runs the real function body under cmake -P with the
runtime target stubbed.

The windows-2022 release job accepted the committed backends in the step
shell (Git Bash) and refused them at configure: runtime.cmake ran the bash
fingerprint through whichever bash find_program() located, and that
environment hashed a byte-identical tree differently. The fingerprint is now
tools/bios_emitter_fingerprint.cmake, run with the configuring cmake itself
on every platform; the shell script is a thin wrapper around it. Same digest
shape as before, so existing stamps stay valid (verified on an LF tree and
an autocrlf clone).

Decision (Alex, 2026-09-30): the recompiled BIOS carries the same risk as
the recompiled game, which titles already commit, so the retail backend is
compiled in rather than built on the player's machine. The retail image is
still never shipped: the runtime needs its data at run time and accepts only
the exact image the backend was built from, so the player supplies their
own dump as before.
- generated/{OpenBIOS,SCPH1001}_{full,dispatch}.c and their .emitter.sha
stamps are tracked (.gitignore un-ignores exactly those); regenerated with
the current emitter.
- bios_emitter_fingerprint.sh no longer hashes the ROM image: the profile's
SHA-256 pin stands for it and the emitter refuses any other image, and CI
has no dump, so hashing it made every CI configure read "stale".
- runtime.cmake: the staleness check covers every LINKED stem and
-DPSXRECOMP_BIOS_STALE_FATAL=ON makes a stale stamp fail configure.
- game-release.yml: no CI-side OpenBIOS emission (generate_openbios.sh is
gone); configure with BIOS_STALE_FATAL and assert both backends linked.
check_generated.sh asserts the submodule carries both backends tracked
and no dump is tracked anywhere.
- The player-side module build stays for a known image a build does not
link (SCPH-5552).

Bundled releases link OpenBIOS only; retail-BIOS-derived C never ships.
"Bring your own BIOS" now works without it: when a dump matching a shipped
profile (psx_bios_known_images.h) is selected, the runtime builds that
backend on the player's machine with the overlay toolchain the release
already carries, caches it, and loads it as one more registered backend.
- runtime/include/psx_bios_module.h: the module contract. An overlay-style
self-contained shared library (no imports from the executable) exporting
psx_bios_module_{abi,codegen_hash,init,backend}; reaches the runtime only
through OverlayCallbacks plus a new PsxBiosModuleCallbacks table (traps,
dirty-RAM/kernel-bless probes, fntrace, log_probe) and pointer aliases of
the globals the generated dispatcher touches. Its #defines rewrite the
emitter's own extern lines, so the generated C compiles unchanged.
- runtime/include/psx_bios_module_glue.c.inc: module-side forwarders and the
four exports, compiled after overlay_dispatch_preamble.c.inc.
- runtime/src/psx_bios_module.c: host side. Cache path
<exe>/cache/bios/<os-arch>/bm<abi>_<codegen hash>_f<flavor>/<STEM>_<crc>,
ABI + codegen-hash gated load, callback fill, and a blocking build via
overlay_toolchain/bios_module_build.py (gcc via compiler.txt or PATH,
else tcc), then psx_bios_register().
- psx_bios_backend.c: the registry is now a mutable table seeded from the
CMake-generated psx_bios_builtin_registry by a constructor, with
psx_bios_register(); every existing walker keeps working.
- main.cpp: validate_bios_for_launch acquires a module (announcing a first
build) before declaring a mismatch; discovery accepts a buildable dump;
the launcher verify reports it usable ("ready" / "compiled on first
launch") with no Generate & rebuild; the BIOS row shows whenever the
toolchain is present; bundled_only respects module support.
- emitter: the CPS-marker constructor is not emitted in a module build.
- overlay_api.h: OverlayCallbacks gains a struct tag;
overlay_loader_callbacks() exposes the host table before loader init.
- tools/bios_module_build.py (ships in the toolchain): identity + profile
SHA-256 gate, staged emitter tree, emit, three-TU compile, ctypes
self-check, atomic publish. release_stage.py stages psxrecomp-bios, every
bios/*.toml, the seeds and the builder into overlay_toolchain/.
- Tests: runtime/tests/test_bios_module_host.c against three fake modules
(good / wrong ABI / wrong hash) on real dlopen; recompiler/tests/
test_bios_module_build.py builds the bundled OpenBIOS end to end and reads
the descriptor back; guards extended.
Verified on Twisted Metal 4 (bundled build + staged toolchain, headless):
first launch with --bios SCPH1001.BIN builds and loads the module and boots
on image=SCPH-1001; the second launch loads it from cache.

find_program() searched for both ccache and ccache.exe on every host.
Under WSL the Windows PATH is appended to the Linux one, so a Windows
ccache.exe (for example from WinLibs) was found first and set as the
compiler launcher. Every compile then failed to exec the Linux compiler.
Search for ccache.exe only when CMAKE_HOST_WIN32 is true. Native Windows,
Linux and macOS hosts find the same program as before.
A netplay match that ends early returns both players to the lobby. The
runtime knew why (netplay_soft_exit's origin) but only printed it to
stdout, so players saw the lobby again with no reason. A boot-digest
mismatch (peers booted different BIOS images or boot settings) first
held a black window for the full 20 s admit-stall watchdog.
netplay_soft_exit now records a sentence for its origin, and the soft
return to the lobby puts it on the launcher's status line through
last_error (the room and browser views already show it). The dig0 gate
timestamps a mismatch; once the same pair of digests has held for 3 s,
the watchdog ends the match with its own reason. A peer that gets the
other side's BYE while it sees the same mismatch reports the mismatch,
not "the other player left". A CLI match prints the sentence to stderr.
The origin-to-text map and the grace decision live in
netplay_exit_reason.c, covered by netplay_exit_reason_test. Builds on
the previous commit's psx_lobby_set_last_error.
